The Swedish Consumer Agency is now warning of fraudsters who claim to be calling from the authority and who are trying to get people to identify themselves with a bank ID.
Among other things, the fraudsters have tried to scare their victims by saying that their IDs have been hacked, or that they have several unpaid invoices with a telecom company.

“We never make these types of calls and never pay out any compensation,” writes the Swedish Consumer Agency in a press release.
